	~~== From EverQuest to EQL ==~~
	~~Game Jawn has been granted creative freedom by Daybreak to:~~
	* Add new zones, quests, and storylines
	* Introduce custom mechanics

	~~We especially welcome:~~
	* EverQuest Legends players
	* Classic EQ veterans
	* P99 contributors who wish to update or adapt their original work for EQL

	~~== Our Mission Moving Forward ==~~
	~~Our long‑term goals are to:~~
	* Maintain the most accurate and complete reference for EQL
	* Document new content as it is released
	* Preserve the classic spirit of EverQuest while embracing the unique direction of EQL
	* Provide a welcoming, collaborative environment for contributors
	* Honor the legacy of the P99 Wiki while forging our own identity

	~~EverQuest Legends Wiki is built on the past, shaped by the present, and prepared for the future of this evolving game world.~~
